This is the second bottle from the producing region. This one was fruity, but also bitter and acidic, plus it had a wood vat feel, or a barrel sake-like flavor. I am looking forward to seeing how the second day goes.

Abe at the liquor store I sometimes go to. Again, there was only one bottle, so I bought it in a hurry. It has a fizziness, and is fruity, maybe melon-like. Since it is a bit of an ogorigami, I drank it without mixing it at first, and then after that, I mixed it.

On a trip to Nagano, I visited the Okazaki Sake Brewery in Ueda. This was the only brand available, but I bought a bottle. It is said to be a regular sake, but it has a nice balance of flavors such as sourness and sweetness with a chili flavor. It is easy to drink.

On a trip to Nagano, I purchased this sake at a liquor store famous for its local sake. There were four types, but I chose my favorite, Aizan. The low alu is a series of sake designed for overseas consumption. I was told that this Aizan had a taste of lychee. The impression I got from drinking it was definitely fruity. It is delicious with a touch of sweetness.

I bought this when I visited Nasu. I bought it because I saw Aizan, my favorite sake brewery, featured on a YouTube video I watched just before. The store owner recommended it to me because it was a limited edition. I liked it a lot. It had a balance of fruity, light effervescence, and acidity that I really liked. I am looking forward to seeing how it changes over the course of a day.

It is said to be made with Abeno's Kijoshu method. It has a rich flavor and a strong sweetness. I think it has a strong melon taste. Many explanations recommend drinking it like a dessert, I understand.
